The following constitutes the
November 1998 Monthly Report for the Pacific Pipeline Mitigation Monitoring, Compliance,
and Reporting Program (MMCRP) contract. It should be noted that since the start of
construction daily and weekly reports summarizing monitoring activities have been issued
and are available on the project web site for review.

PROJECT MEETINGS

PPSI Project Meetings: The
following meetings were held during November:

Segment 1 Construction:
Segment 1 runs from the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley at Emidio, through the
Tejon Pass, to the northern boundary of the ANF in Los Angeles County.Construction
of Segment 1 commenced on November 5, 1997. Primary activities during the month of
November are presented in Table 1. Table 2 presents the non-compliance events that
occurred on Segment 1 during November.

During November, work along
Highway 166 (EMP 0.00 to 0.80) was slow due the collapse and required re-digging of
unstable trench walls; however, work was completed by the end of November. Mainline
construction continued through the Tejon Bench area. Work was also conducted at the
following bores: Highway 166 (EMP 1.18), Stream Crossing #4 (EMP 9.03), Tecuya Creek/I-5
(EMP 9.88), the California Aqueduct (EMP 12.22), I-5/Grapevine (EMP 14.62), Stream
Crossing #9 (EMP 15.35), and Cuddy Creek Tributary (EMP 25.47). During the second week of
November, work commenced at the "Warbler Skip" (EMP 21.73); this area was
skipped earlier in the year because of nesting Yellow Warblers, a California endangered
bird. However, during the third week of November, contaminated soils were encountered and
work was halted at the subject site. The pipeline hydrotest was successfully completed
from Peace Valley Road (EMP 25.48) to Copco Road (EMP 33.34) during the first week of
November.

At Emidio Pump Station (EMP
0.00), pipe fitting, electrical, and office interior work were conducted during November.
Foundation work was completed at Grapevine Pump Station (EMP 15.57) during November, and
pipe fitting and electrical work continued. Cement pouring for support walls was also
conducted at Grapevine Pump Station.

Segment 2A/C (ANF) Construction:
Construction within the ANF (Segment 2A) began on June 27, 1997 and was completed to
Templin Highway on November 9, 1997, with the exception of some erosion repair,
revegetation, valve, and conduit requirements. This follow-up work commenced in June 1998.
Construction of Segment 2C, Templin Highway to Castaic (several miles south of the
southern ANF boundary) commenced on June 22, 1998; portions of Segment 2C also traverse
private lands. Construction of both Segment 2A and 2C (ANF portions) was required by the
ANF to be completed by October 3, 1998. Segment 2A was completed on October 15, 1998 and
Segment 2C was completed in its entirety, including the Whitaker Pressure Relief Station,
during the third week of November 1998. Primary activities during the month of November
are presented in Table 3. No non-compliance events occurred on Segments 2A or 2C during
November.

November 6, 1997. Primary activities during the month of November are presented in Table
4. Table 5 presents the non-compliance events that occurred on Segment 2B during November.

During November, the directional
drill for fiber optic conduit under Santa Clara River continued through the month. A
sizing pig was run from Weldon Canyon to Marple Canyon, which detected an anomaly in the
pipe. Traffic between Sierra Highway and Weldon Canyon was limited to one lane, and was
guided through the construction zone by a pilot car.

Segment 3 Construction: Segment
3 runs from Sylmar to Dodger Stadium, primarily within MTA right-of-way. Construction
within the City of San Fernando, between Wolfskill and Jessie Streets (approximately 190
feet), began on September 30, 1997, and was completed on October 7, 1997. Construction of
the remaining portions of Segment 3 commenced on October 28. 1997. On February 5, 1998, a
mini-crew began work on Segment 3 in the vicinity of Los Feliz (referred to as "Los
Feliz" crew). This crew worked primarily at the StorItAll facility and the Glendale
Boulevard bore which were completed during April 1998. In April 1998, Segment 3
construction was divided into two spreads (Segment 3A which runs from San Fernando to
south of Taylor Yard, and Segment 3B which runs from Taylor Yard to Alameda Street). A
Segment 3C crew (San Fernando north to Sylmar) was added the second week of September
1998. Primary activities during the month of November are presented in Table 6. No
non-compliance events occurred on Segment 3 during November.

Segment 3A - During the first
week of November, crews completed pipe installation on the bridge crossing over San
Fernando Road (EMP 86.77) and clean-up at the Verdugo Wash crossing (EMP 91.09). Work was
also conducted at the Hollywood Way crossing (EMP 85.60) and Tujunga Wash crossing (EMP
81.65). Excavation of the 33-foot deep bore pits at Tuxford Street (EMP 83.21) was
completed and the bore commenced during November. Filling of sink holes along the Segment
3A right-of-way was also conducted. On November 14, the Los Feliz Yard was closed and
materials were moved to the San Fernando Yard.

Segment 3B - The remaining minor
clean-up work on Segment 3B was completed the first week of November.

Segment 3C - During November, the
bore at Hubbard Street (EMP 77.33) was initiated and completed. At the California Aqueduct
High-Speed Channel (EMP 74.00), the pipe was installed, and the south side was tied-in and
backfilled. During the last two weeks of November, concrete was poured for the cover for
the pipe crossing the Channel.

Segment 4 Construction:
Segment 4 is being constructed by two separate crews. Construction of Segment 4A, from
downtown Los Angeles to Watts Junction, began on October 20, 1997, and is being conducted
from 7:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Monday night through Friday night, to minimize traffic
impacts. A Segment 4A-day crew was added the end of June through August, 1998. Segment 4A
was completed on October 31, 1998. Segment 4B construction (daytime), from Watts Junction
to the Chevron El Segundo Refinery, commenced on October 23, 1997. Primary activities
during the month of November are presented in Table 7. No non-compliance events occurred
on Segment 4 during November.

On November 23, 1998, general
mainline construction along Segment 4B was completed. Hydrotests from Lynwood Station
(ESMP 0.0) to Aviation Boulevard (ESMP 9.80) and from Lynwood Station to Sepulveda
Boulevard (ESMP 10.78) were successfully completed. Work continued at Lynwood Station and
El Segundo Station through November including pipe installation, bore (El Segundo Station
only), electrical work, and pipe tie-in (El Segundo Station only).

Segment 5 Construction: This
segment involved three phases of construction: 1) Construction of Segment 5A (Dominguez
Channel to Sepulveda Blvd. - MP 116.21 to 116.75) has been completed, 2) construction of
Segment 5B (along Alameda Street south of Sepulveda Blvd. and south along Henry Ford to
Anaheim Street - MP 116.75 to 118.83) was completed during September 1997, and 3)
construction of Segment 5C (remainder of Segment 5 - MP 107.95 to 116.21) commenced on
August 29, 1997 and was completed in September 1998 with the exception of the directional
drill of Auto Drive South/Highway 91, which commenced in October 1998. During November,
the directional drill was completed. Crews at Wilmington Station continued with the
installation of cased bores throughout the month. No non-compliance events occurred on
Segment 5C during November.

COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION

PPSIs general plans and reports
have been submitted and approved by the CPUC and ANF. Outstanding plan issues relate only
to proposed revisions to approved plans (submitted by PPSI as variance requests,
documented above) or updated plans.

With pipeline operations projected by PPSI
to start January 1999, numerous submittals for pre-operation compliance mitigation
measures were reviewed during November, including the following:

2. Initial construction completed from June 27 through
November 9, 1997.

3. Templin Highway to ANF southern boundary.

4. Construction has not been completed as planned.

PUBLIC ACCESS PROGRAM

 Due to the lack of public interest in visiting the MMCRP
Walk-In Sites (that was in operation from July 1997 through February 1998), our Student
Interns no longer staff the Valley Family Center site in San Fernando, and the Parents of
Watts site in Watts on a scheduled basis. However, project documents and PPSI computers
remain at the sites for public use, and MMCRP Student Interns available on an as-needed
basis (i.e., by appointment). The project information hotline and project newsletter,
provide information on how to make an appointment for the Walk-In Sites

 During November, no members of the public made appointments to visit the MMCRP
Walk-In sites in San Fernando and Watts.

 The hotline message and project web site continue to be updated as the project
progresses. During November, no messages were left on the hotline, and the web site
received 116 hits.

Environmental Justice:

As of November, PPSI is in compliance
with all construction-related aspects of the mitigation measures applicable to minority
populations and low-income populations. These measures include: ML-1 (Community Outreach
and Communications Program), ML-2 (Community Partnership Program), ML-3 (Local Community
and MBE Hiring Program), and ML-6 (implementation of the BIMP).
